the holidays.
Mr.. George Gallaher happened to an acci-
dent not long since which destroyed the
sight of one of his eyes.
w. Goggin, Jr., was firing gun, when a
small piece of the cap from the gun, flying
off, struck George in the eye, who happened
to be standing near by at the time, with the
above result.
Frank Gallaher gave an oyster supper last
week, which was attended by quite large
number of young ladies and gentlemen. The
most amusing feature of the supper was
that of a young man from Centreville, who
came, it is said, for the express purpose OF
taking to supper the eldest of three sisters.
But when he sit down to the table with his
best girl as he thought, who can imagine his
establishment and chagrin when he found
that, by the dimness of the light, or some
other cause, he had brought the wrong girl.
